Pendragon, with five events at our downtown store.
And as
another successful calendar sale winds down (thanks
to everyone who came out), we are restocking the
tables with fresh, great books.

Beyond Deep Throat: The Press, Confidential
Sources and Your Right to Know
Thursday, February 16th at 7pm
Admission: free
What do Watergate, Tailhook and Abu Ghraib have in
common? They were major news stories that would
not have been reported without the use of
confidential sources. Reporter Seth Rosenfeld and
lawyer Erica Craven will discuss the growing effort to
restrict the use of confidential sources in
news reporting. Join us for what we hope is
the first in a series of public discussions about first
amendment, privacy and free expression issues.

Berkeley. (510) 649-1320.

| BART Rider Appreciation |
|
|
Our participation in BART's Rider Appreciation Day
was well worth our efforts. We donned reindeer
antlers at 6am to distribute coupons to riders at East
Bay stations, who were then invited to use the ten
dollar coupon on selected books in our stores.
Thanks and kudos to the BART organizers who
approached the independent bookstores first!

We've chosen Valentine cards that will make just the
right impression, with letterpress elegance,
silkscreened sentiments and hand-made charm.
Check out our selection at all three stores.
